Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience

Duration: Pamagirri Dance Performance 30 minutes (approx.), Dream Time Walk 30 minutes (approx.)

Australia's Indigenous culture is one of the oldest surviving cultures in the world and Rainforestation Nature Park recognises the importance of preserving and sharing this unique culture.

Local indigenous Pamagirri guides welcome you to join them on a journey to discover the Dreamtime and learn about the fascinating customs and ancient traditions that are kept alive in the rainforest of Kuranda, in Tropical North Queensland.

The Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience takes approximately 1 hour which includes both the Pamagirri Aboriginal Dance Show held in the Rainforest Amphitheatre and the Dreamtime Walk conducted either before or after the show.

  • Pamagirri Dance Performance
    The rainforest amphitheatre provides a beautiful backdrop for the Pamagirri Dance Performance; a traditional dance performance depicting aspects of Indigenous culture including animals, food gathering and hunting.
    The rainforest serves as the theatre walls whilst sounds of wildlife provide accompaniment to the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo and clapsticks. Be sure to watch closely – there's a surprise for the audience at the end!
    The amphitheatre is wheelchair accessible, and has a large protective canopy and tiers of comfortable wooden seats with the capacity for four hundred people. The dance programme is available in fourteen different languages.
  • Dreamtime Walk
    Take a guided tour along an all-weather walk-way modelled on the Rainbow Serpent which gives you a fascinating insight into aspects of aboriginal culture. Try your hand at boomerang throwing, observe spear-throwing and hear your Pamagirri Guide play the didgeridoo, an ancient instrument. Listen carefully for sounds imitating Kangaroos or the Kookaburra. You can then take the Pamagirri Rainforest Walkabout to further enhance your indigenous experience.

 

Army Duck Rainforest Tour

Duration: 45 minutes (approx.)

Experience the tropical rainforest from a totally unique perspective aboard an Amphibious World War II Army Duck. Rainforestation has twelve of these historical vehicles which hold up to 30 passengers and uses a 6 wheel drive, propeller and rudder. Your knowledgeable Duck Captain identifies fascinating plants and wildlife as you pass by, before splashing into the lake for a cruise, with plenty more wildlife to be seen. The Army Duck Tour also includes a tour of the Tropical Fruit Orchard which has over 40 different varieties of exotic tropical fruit trees on display. This experience provides the ideal opportunity to touch and taste the exotic fruits of Tropical North Queensland, and from around the world (Fruit tasting and purchases are at own cost).

 

Koala & Wildlife Park

Duration: Guided Tour 30 minutes (approx.)

The Koala and Wildlife Park allows visitors to experience another facet of Australia.

Wander at your leisure or join a guided group with experienced Wildlife Keepers. A series of elevated boardwalks provide close-up uninterrupted views of various Australian animals and reptiles. Handfeed the free roaming kangaroos and wallabies in the landscaped gardens, observe the endangered cassowary, see wombats and lace monitors, and view local snakes and other reptiles.

The star attraction of the Wildlife Park is "Jack the Ripper", a 5 metre saltwater crocodile weighing at 650kgs with a reputation of killing 12 of his girlfriends in times gone by. Jack is kept in his own enclosure with an elevated platform perfect for your safe and close-up viewing. On the other side of Jack is the fresh water enclosure where a bask of juvenile crocodiles, turtles and lizards sun themselves and casually swim around.
